Details:
Hydroponics is a type of horticulture that involves growing plants without soil, in water, and with a growing medium. Hydroponic growing can be done at home and has many benefits over other growing methods, but most people don’t know how to get started. The good news is that it doesn’t take much to start your hydroponic growing journey, and the output is so rewarding! Join Ekene Tharpe, Department Chair, Horticulture with Reynolds Community College, for an introduction to hydroponics! Ekene will help break hydroponics down to its core elements including system types, system inputs, and the essentials of successful growing. As part of the class, Ekene will lead a tour to see the Babylon Micro-Farms hydroponic growing system installed in the Robins Visitors Center. Students will walk away with the ability to grow their own leafy greens and herbs year-round indoors!
